Army Corps shares update for periodic nourishment of Lower Cape May Meadows-Cape May Point project

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Philadelphia District shared an update regarding periodic nourishment for the Lower Cape Meadows-Cape May Point project in New Jersey. In September 2024, USACE awarded a contract to Agate Construction Company, Inc. of Egg Harbor Township, NJ for $1.3 million. The contract calls for ‘backpassing’, which means sand will be excavated from areas along the beach instead of dredging the sand from offshore borrow areas or inlets. The base contract work will involve excavating approximately 88,000 cubic yards of sand from beach areas that have accumulated excess sand. This sand will then be placed at the Cove Beach area in the City of Cape May.
